Danilo DiPietro ，

A taut thriller and a meditation on anti-Semitism and the Catholic Church’s role in fostering this insidious disease。 I also love the dry humor that infuses the book。

Good but a bit too contrived。

Solid entry in the Gabriel Allon series。

Traditional Silva。 Captivating to the end。 Like spending time with old friends as it had been a while since I'd read an Allon tory and I read #21 prior to this and didn't like it as much although it was good。 Traditional Silva。 Captivating to the end。 Like spending time with old friends as it had been a while since I'd read an Allon tory and I read #21 prior to this and didn't like it as much although it was good。 。。。more

A lesson in ancient ‘history’This book gives you lessons on the Bible， the various gospels and gives you a reason for the ‘enmity’ between the Christians and the Jews。 It takes you through the intrigues that go on within the Vatican and election of a new pope。 In the midst of all this iOS Gabriel Allon！

Sara VA ，

Another great Gabriel Allon novel！ Return to the Vatican， so it ties to several earlier books， but can be read alone。 Interesting evolution of Gabriel and his team with some of the typical traits。 Fun elements you don't see coming， but great story。 One of my favorite in the series。 Another great Gabriel Allon novel！ Return to the Vatican， so it ties to several earlier books， but can be read alone。 Interesting evolution of Gabriel and his team with some of the typical traits。 Fun elements you don't see coming， but great story。 One of my favorite in the series。 。。。more

Good plot， good thrilling feelings， as usual。Nonetheless， for a espionage thriller， it felt to be a book to connect the history for upcoming volumes。

Very interesting ~ I have read and watched history channels regarding this issue ~ that the Pope had assisted the SS IN IDENTIFYING Jews

I hesitated to leave a 2-star rating for a Daniel Silva book， but I did not like The Order。 I have read every book Silva has written since The Unlikely Spy and have enjoyed them。 I do think， however， that the author strayed too far into world theologies。 I appreciate that Silva is of the Jewish faith， which is a significant ingredient of the Gabriel Allon series， and I respect that religion and the horrendous sufferings of the Jews。 That said， I hope that in future the author will continue writi I hesitated to leave a 2-star rating for a Daniel Silva book， but I did not like The Order。 I have read every book Silva has written since The Unlikely Spy and have enjoyed them。 I do think， however， that the author strayed too far into world theologies。 I appreciate that Silva is of the Jewish faith， which is a significant ingredient of the Gabriel Allon series， and I respect that religion and the horrendous sufferings of the Jews。 That said， I hope that in future the author will continue writing exciting thrillers without offering his theories on the Christian Bible or the life of my savior， Jesus Christ。 。。。more

Amongst the most enjoyable sub-genres of the Allon series are the Vatican novels， which are completely distinct from the usual globe-encompassing settings， in which Allon battles the Russians， Saudis， various enemies of Israel。 The closeted and insular world of the Vatican， the courtly intrigue， and Allon's personal equations with the mighty at the Church make this set the best of the series。 Amongst the most enjoyable sub-genres of the Allon series are the Vatican novels， which are completely distinct from the usual globe-encompassing settings， in which Allon battles the Russians， Saudis， various enemies of Israel。 The closeted and insular world of the Vatican， the courtly intrigue， and Allon's personal equations with the mighty at the Church make this set the best of the series。 。。。more

Pamela ，

Another good thriller by Silva。 Interesting look into the Catholic Church and the Vatican， even though so much is fiction。 I always love Gabriel Allen’s adventures。

Linda ，

Gabriel is Jewish art restorer and legendary spy。 In the search for a lost gospel， this book shows the history between the Catholic Church and its relationship with Jews。 It was jarring as I read about some of the history。 This was a very in-lighting book and it made me think。 I will most likely read it again after looking into the information it shows。 As always this Danial Silva book it is a great read。

Me da una rabia inmensa， pero es que a medida que he ido leyendo la serie de Gabriel Allon de Daniel Silva， se han ido desinflando a la velocidad de la luz。 Empecé muy fuerte con el libro "La chica inglesa" que le puse 5 estrellas （era como leer una película de James Bond y no podia parar de leer）， pero a partir de ahí， sus libros se iban haciendo más aburridos， densos， sin acción。 Esto es lo que ha pasado， una vez más， con este libro。 Aburridísimo， sólo tenia ganas de terminarlo para poder leer Me da una rabia inmensa， pero es que a medida que he ido leyendo la serie de Gabriel Allon de Daniel Silva， se han ido desinflando a la velocidad de la luz。 Empecé muy fuerte con el libro "La chica inglesa" que le puse 5 estrellas （era como leer una película de James Bond y no podia parar de leer）， pero a partir de ahí， sus libros se iban haciendo más aburridos， densos， sin acción。 Esto es lo que ha pasado， una vez más， con este libro。 Aburridísimo， sólo tenia ganas de terminarlo para poder leer otra cosa。 Sólo hacen que hablar y más hablar y de todos sus libros， me parece el menos creíble。 De hecho y para los que se hayan leído el libro， padece más una critica de casi 500 páginas al motivo por el que según el autor， el catolicismo ha tenido la única culpa de todo lo que le ha pasado a los judíos desde la época de Cristo hasta la actualidad。 Y a mi， sinceramente， si quiere hacer una critica que la haga en un diario o que su libro sea un ensayo， pero que no me lo venda como una novela y menos， dentro de la serie de Gabriel Allon。 En resumen， un chasco y por eso， y siendo muy generosa， mi nota es un 5/10。 。。。more

Couldn’t finish。 Stuck on chapter 3 and couldn’t go on。 It may be because I’m not feeling this genre at this particular moment。

Eroul acestui thriller este， bineînțeles， același Gabriel Allon， spion și specialist în restaurarea operelor de artă， cu precădere cele din timpul renașterii。 Acțiunea romanului începe foarte pașnic， Gabriel și familia sa mergând în vacanță la Veneția， orașul unde el își propune să se stabilească după ce va ieși la pensie。 Meseria de spion însă nu îl va lăsa pe eroul nostru să îi tihnească vacanța， căci există o lume ce trebuie să fie salvată și nu poate să aștepte prea mult。 Arhiepiscopul Luigi Eroul acestui thriller este， bineînțeles， același Gabriel Allon， spion și specialist în restaurarea operelor de artă， cu precădere cele din timpul renașterii。 Acțiunea romanului începe foarte pașnic， Gabriel și familia sa mergând în vacanță la Veneția， orașul unde el își propune să se stabilească după ce va ieși la pensie。 Meseria de spion însă nu îl va lăsa pe eroul nostru să îi tihnească vacanța， căci există o lume ce trebuie să fie salvată și nu poate să aștepte prea mult。 Arhiepiscopul Luigi Donati， secretarul papei Paul al VII-lea și persoana de încredere a acestuia， îl solicită pe Gabriel Allon să îl ajute， deoarece are suspiciuni serioase că papa a fost asasinat。 Prin urmare， vacanța de la Veneția se mută la Roma， însă cu greu mai poate fi numită o vacanță， deși Gabriel ar trebui să fie deja obișnuit cu stilul acesta de viață。Principalul pericol este reprezentat de Ordinul Sfânta Elena， o organizație cu rădăcini puternice în lumea nazistă și cu o istorie foarte întunecată în ceea ce privește deposedarea evreilor bogați de averile acestora în anii 30 și 40 ai secolului trecut。 Scopul acestei organizații religioase și politice este acela de a planta pe scaunul pontifical un papă marionetă， aflat în subordinea sa și nu a intereselor credincioșilor。 Pe de altă parte， lumea occidentală se află în pragul colapsului și acest lucru are legătură directă cu același Ordin， ce încurajează ascensiunea extremei drepte pe întreg continentul european。 Suntem deci puși în fața unei conspirații cu o miză enormă， ce trebuie să fie anihilată de Allon înainte ca noul papă să fie ales。 Mai mult decât atât， trebuie spus că totul pleacă de la o carte， Evanghelia după Pilat， ce oferă o nouă interpretare a evenimentelor ce au culminat cu condamnarea la moarte a lui Isus și care ar putea stabili o relație nouă între creștinism și iudaism。În mod aparent este o intrigă foarte complicată， însă Daniel Silva are o scriitură prietenoasă cu cititorul， astfel încât lectura este plăcută și cursivă， chiar dacă uneori există repetiții și o descriere succintă， dar nu tocmai originală， a unor opere de artă， monumente istorice etc。， acestea nu sunt supărătoare sau plictisitoare。 În fine， vestea cea mai bună este aceea că editura Litera a anunțat că dorește să publice întreaga serie Gabriel Allon， ceea ce este o inițiativă excelentă。 Lectură plăcută！ 。。。more

Janet ，

This is the first Daniel Silva book i have read & frankly am not sure I’d read another one。 I thought it was extremely slow & had an obvious agenda。 The story had great possibilities， but I felt he concentrated more on his agenda than on making a good thriller。 I would not recommend this book。

I think I've read every Gabriel Allon's book that Mr。 Silva has written， but I must say this one was one of the least interesting that I've read。 The author uses a lot of historical stories or documents or。。。。 to makes us think and go that extra step to see things differently。 In this book however， he fictionalized too much and I felt a bit cheated。 Perhaps the next one will be better。 I think I've read every Gabriel Allon's book that Mr。 Silva has written， but I must say this one was one of the least interesting that I've read。 The author uses a lot of historical stories or documents or。。。。 to makes us think and go that extra step to see things differently。 In this book however， he fictionalized too much and I felt a bit cheated。 Perhaps the next one will be better。 。。。more

I was so disappointed by this novel， the 20th in the “Gabriel Allon” series by Daniel Silva。 The plot is predictable and the cast of characters is wooden and stale。 Mr。 Silva should have ended the series several novels ago， but I am taking it upon myself to end it now for me。 Gabriel is retired， living in Italy and raising his kids with his wife。 The end。
